Distilled Beverage
Liquor ( , sometimes hard liquor), spirits, distilled spirits, or spiritous liquor are alcoholic drinks produced by the distillation of grains, fruits, vegetables, or sugar that have already gone through alcoholic fermentation. While the word ''liquor'' ordinarily refers to distilled alcoholic spirits rather than drinks produced by fermentation alone, it can sometimes be used more broadly to refer to any alcoholic beverage (or even non-alcoholic ones produced by distillation or some other practices, such as the brewed liquor of a tea). The distillation process concentrates the alcohol, the resulting condensate has an increased alcohol by volume. As liquors contain significantly more alcohol (ethanol) than other alcoholic drinks, they are considered "harder". In North America, the term ''hard liquor'' is sometimes used to distinguish distilled alcoholic drinks from non-distilled ones, whereas the term ''spirits'' is more commonly used in the United Kingdom.

Shaojiu
''Baijiu'' (), or ''shaojiu'' (), is a colorless Chinese liquor typically coming in between 35% and 60% alcohol by volume (ABV). Each type of baijiu uses its own type of '' qū'' for fermentation to create a distinct and characteristic flavor profile. Baijiu is a clear liquid usually distilled from fermented sorghum, although other grains may be used; some southeastern Chinese styles may employ rice and glutinous rice while other Chinese varieties may use wheat, barley, millet, or Job's tears () in their mash bills. The ''qū'' starter culture used in the production of ''baijiu'' is usually made from pulverized wheat grain or steamed rice.Rong and Fa, Grandiose Survey of Chinese Alcoholic Drinks and Beverages, 2013, Because of its clarity, ''baijiu'' can appear similar to several other East Asian liquors, e.g. Japanese ''shōchū'' (25%) or Korean ''soju'' (20–45%), but it often has a significantly higher alcohol content (35–60%).

Shōchū
is a Japanese distilled beverage. It is typically distilled from rice, barley, sweet potatoes, buckwheat, or brown sugar, though it is sometimes produced from other ingredients such as chestnut, sesame seeds, potatoes, or even carrots. Typically shōchū contains 25% alcohol by volume, which is weaker than baijiu, whiskey, or vodka, but stronger than huangjiu, sake, or wine. It is not uncommon for multiply distilled shōchū, which is more likely to be used in mixed drinks, to contain up to 35% alcohol by volume. Etymology The word is the Japanese rendition of the Chinese '' shaojiu'' (), meaning "burned liquor", which refers to the heating process during distillation. The Chinese way of writing ''shaojiu'' with the character means sake in modern Japanese, which writes ''shōchū'' using the character instead. Nevertheless, both characters mean "liquor". Culture Drinking ''Shōchū'' should not be confused with sake, a brewed rice wine. Its taste is usually far les ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Soju
Soju (English pronunciation: ; ) is a clear and colorless distilled alcoholic beverage from Korea, traditionally made from rice, but later from other grains and has a flavor similar to vodka. It is usually consumed neat. Its alcohol content varies from about 12.5% to 53% alcohol by volume (ABV). Since 2007 low alcohol soju (below 20%) has become the most common type. Traditionally, most brands of are produced in the Andong region, but also in other regions and countries. While was traditionally made from rice, South Korean ethanol producers replace rice with other starch, such as cassava due to significantly lower capital costs. Soju often appears similar to several other East Asian liquors while differing in alcohol contents. Etymology ''Soju'' () means "burned liquor", with the first syllable, ''so'' (; 燒; "burn"), referring to the heat of distillation and the second syllable, ''ju'' (; 酒), meaning "alcoholic drink".
